Metal Roof Installation in Miami
— Standing Seam Experts

Standing seam metal is the strongest residential roof system available in South Florida. Miami-Dade approved systems are rated for 160+ mph sustained winds — significantly above what any category 4 hurricane produces at ground level in most neighborhoods.

Standing seam metal runs $12–$22/sq ft installed; concrete tile runs $9–$18/sq ft. Metal's higher upfront cost is offset by its longer lifespan (40–70 years vs. 40–50) and much lower maintenance cost over that period. On a 30-year cost basis, metal and tile are very close.

The opposite. Unpainted bare metal reflects radiant heat, but painted metal roofs with proper underlayment and ventilation can reduce attic temperatures by 20–30°F compared to dark shingles. Standing seam metal with a light-colored Kynar 500 paint is one of the most energy-efficient roof systems available.

Not with proper installation. Our standing seam systems are installed over solid decking or purlins with high-temp underlayment between the panel and substrate — this creates acoustic deadening that makes a metal roof quieter than most people expect.

Most metal roof installations on Miami single-family homes take 2–4 days. Standing seam installation requires a mechanical seamer and more precise planning than shingles but less time than tile. We provide a firm schedule before starting.
